Article Abstract
As emerging biomaterials, framework nucleic acids (FNAs) have recently demonstrated great potential in the biomedical field due to their high programmability, biocompatibility, unique structural diversity, and precise molecular design capabilities. This review focuses on the applications of FNAs in cellular sensing and disease treatment. First, we systematically introduce the applications of FNAs in cellular sensing, including their precise recognition and response to the extracellular tumor microenvironment, cell membrane proteins, and intracellular biomarkers. Subsequently, we review the potential of FNAs in disease treatment, covering their applications and development in drug delivery, regulation of cell behavior, and immunomodulation. We also discuss the limitations and potential role of FNAs in personalized medicine, precision diagnostics, and advanced therapies. The broad application of FNAs is expected to drive significant breakthroughs in future biomedical technological innovations and clinical translation.

Engineering of a Complex of the DNase Domain of Colicin E9 with the Immunity Protein Im9 Activated by the Protease pS273R of African Swine Fever Virus.

African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a large DNA virus that causes a highly lethal disease in pigs and currently has no effective vaccines or antiviral treatments available. We designed a protein switch that combines the DNase domain of colicin E9 (DNase E9) and its inhibitor Im9 with the viral protease cleavage site. The complex is only destroyed in the presence of an ASFV pS273R protease, which releases DNase activity.

Background: Disulfidptosis, a novel cellular death manner, has yet to be fully explored within the context of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This study aims to identify genes implicated in PAH that are involved in disulfidptosis.
Method: Based on data from the GEO database, this study employed co-expression analysis, Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA), hub gene identification, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to uncover genes associated with PAH and disulfidptosis.

Neuroinflammation, a vital protective response for tissue homeostasis, becomes a detrimental force when chronic and dysregulated, driving neurological disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases. Potassium (K) channels maintain membrane potential and cellular excitability in neurons and glia within the intricate CNS signaling network. Neuronal injury or inflammation can disrupt K channel activity, leading to hyperexcitability and chronic pain.

The thermal grill, in which innocuous warm and cool stimuli are interlaced, can produce a paradoxical burning pain sensation-the thermal grill illusion (TGI). Although the mechanisms underlying TGI remain unclear, prominent theories point to spinal dorsal horn integration of innocuous thermal inputs to elicit pain. It remains unknown whether the TGI activates peripheral nociceptors, or solely thermosensitive afferents that are integrated within the spinal cord to give rise to a painful experience.

We hypothesized that variants in inflammasome-related genes could influence susceptibility to gestational malaria (GM). To test this, we conducted an association study in a cohort of pregnant women from a malaria-endemic region in northern Brazil, assessing whether specific functional single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in inflammasome genes affect (1) the response to Plasmodium infection and (2) the development of placental malaria. Our findings revealed that the NLRP1 p.
